A temple stands isolated on a small hill in the surroundings of the locality of Kanakan Dighi. The discovery of Jatar Deul dates back to the mid-19th century, when land surveyors stumbled upon a towering brick structure in the midst of the Sundarbans. A fair is held and a horse race is organised on 2 Boishakh (15-16 April) every year near the temple.
Jatar Deul is located in district South 24 Parganas of the Indian state West Bengal. This is a brick temple and is datable between the 10th and 11th century on the basis of its architecture. However, this type of brick temple we can see at Nebia Khera, Uttar Pradesh.
